This type of wealth and privilege exists at every top private university! Why pick on SMU? Same as at TCU, USC, Tulane, Stanford, LMU, the Ivies, WashU, Northwestern, Lehigh, etc etc. All of these schools have very rich kids who pay full tuition which, thankfully, allows the school to admit more students and offer aid to students that couldnt otherwise afford to attend. Honestly, this is good for everyone. Get some perspective, people!!!

Comparing SMU to "the Ivies," Tulane, Northwestern, USC and particularly Stanford is hilarious! Look at their acceptance rates (and UT's, of course). Look at their student bodies: Very diverse, versus 90+ % privileged white kids. Look at their young alumni. (And no, being Vice President if your dad's company doesn't count - they will can you once Daddy is gone).
So you are comparing apples and oranges. For most of the schools you mentioned, a future employer (other than Daddy) would not put those schools and SMU in the same category, and the same with grad school selection panels (though I guess most SMU girls aren't interested in grad school, as it gets in the way of Junior League activities).
Bottom line: The schools you mentioned may also have wealthy students, but they have smart, ambitious, diverse (including politically diverse) student bodies. You guys are stagnating from your glory years!
Hook'em!

To the poster saying people at SMU did not get into USC, etc, thatās just not true. Personally, I got into USC, and Vanderbilt, but Iām probably going to attend SMU anyway because of the scholarship. Also, my parents didnāt want me going as far as Cali (Iām from east coast)

what exactly where you expecting in texas?? this isnāt bama, where people equate being from mountain brook with old money. old money doesnāt even really exist in texas, being rich for 4 generations doesnāt make you old money... and the oldest money youāll find in dallas, the hockaday types, donāt even consider smu as an option. nor ut austin or tcu. they aim for the ivies, stanford, usc etc. and thatās totally fine!!! letās leave smu the way it is. if ppl are flashy let them be. ā¤ļø

There definitely is an insane amount of money here. I'm from a good area and was still blown away by the clear amount of money the mass majority of the social people on campus have. Definitely pressure to keep up with the crowd, as on a boulevard every Saturday there will not be a non-designer bag in sight. I don't think that all the money on this campus immediately implies everyone is superficial and shallow, but I can see how a sensitive or insecure person may feel that way and may feel like they can't fit in, but that's life and that's on them

"Attractive and well to do" and too dumb to get into a top-ranked University.
